Lanen...never fear, you and Kolmar could never disapoint the true fans. Its alive with all the characters that you have brought to us. They will tell you what needs to happen and when, just like the last time. Trust them and they will guide you my friend...so stop worrying its going to be fantastic, we all know it even if you don't....

One tiny questions...are the twins still around???

In my youth I was once accused of looking like a Pre-Raphaelite madonna by a director. Mind you, at that age (20) I had wavy light brown hair down to my waist... Never called Titian, though, not red enough. I've always envied the red heads.

That one thought has been in my mind since I finished the books...will she or won't she. Thank you Lanen, so much for letting that Jewel, out of the bag

I've never done this kind of thing before...and there might be others that would also like to know.

I've joined the TOR community and started a conversation, asking whether there are any fans of Elizabeth Kerner around (in the community). You have to register for this to be able to post.
For the conversation click here.

Thank you Hans for the info and link...I went, I joined and I wrote my message as a true fan...
for the publishers to take notice of.
Now lets just see who else will go and leave a mesage... and hopefully drum up some business for
our beloved Kolmar.

Whoa, Elizabeth Kerner is a member of this site?! Wow! How many other favorite authors lurk on this forum?

I loved the entire trilogy! I read it in high school and was hooked. Such a unique view on dragons and the romance was so sweet, I was actually jealous ^_^ And the third book made me cry! Very few books have made me tear up but I wasnt given time to cry for long. I cried for about a page and then we were right back into the action and I wasnt given time to wallow in my sorrow for too long.

And, though I am a bit embarassed to admit it now, I used a monologue from 'Song In The Silence' for my Acting class in high school. I think I still even remember bits of it! Let me see... I meant never to tell you! I thought it was nothing more than my own feelings. I would come to you and you would call me little one, littling, so I would realize how impossible this would all be. And there you stand, talking of love, as though we were one kindred. That was the beginning and then I always loved the ending. May the Lady help me. May she help us both. Please Akor, say something. Speak to me.

I got an A so my teacher thought I did it justice. I hope anyone else who saw it would agree =3

There's going to be a fourth book? Oh, I hope so! That would make my day! Next chance I get, Ill join the efforts and write to the publisher begging for a fourth book. Ill tell them the series needs to be a nice even number

Litwolf, you have made my day - well, ok, my night, but you know what I mean.

I am ridiculously honoured. You used that speech of Lanen's for an acting class! Wow! I am so chuffed. Thank you for letting me know! Gosh. AND you got an A. Wheee! It astounds me that something I wrote has affected someone's life, even to that extent. Thank you.

And you go for it, Jube. It gets better later, honest.

Hans, I see what you mean. Sigh. Alas, human nature! What one thinks of as altruism so often turns out to be self-interest in ! Or possibly just a good pal being very kind.

Though if you think SB is on your side, I got news for you... er... unless he is... sneaky soul that he is, I'm going to hedge my bets. OK, sweetie, no more brownies for you if you help out Hans!

Blackmail? You betcha!

Yes, it's been good "bed-time" reading at the ridiculous hour of 10 am (AEST), yes my nighty-nights have been during the day, rather then the proper night-time. I'm back to normal bed-times now SING SWEET HALLEJUAH'S that work's over for the week

Litwolf, you have made my day - well, ok, my night, but you know what I mean.

You are most welcome! It always makes me feel so happy when I am able to tell a favorite author how much I loved their work. And, let me assure you, it was a blast to perform Lanen's speech for my class

Lanen, I promise if I am ever able to meet you in person, Ill perform Lanen's speech for you and you will either smile because Ive done it justice or laugh because Im the worst actress youve ever seen. Deal?

*scurries off to find 'Song In The Silence' and brush up on Lanen's epic speech*

Hearing Elizabeth read her own story to all of us who were there, bringing her incredible characters to life was a thrilling experience...one I will always cherish.

Thank you so much Hans, for putting all the work needed, into getting Elizabeths site up and running. You did a fabulous job...it looks very professional...and I am sure that not only will Elizabeth, be enjoying it...but so will all of her fans.

Glad I got someone off their backside even if it was my own and/or Hans' to start something up.

I have now officially finished book 1. Although I haven't read book 2 or 3 yet to see if they answer this question but.....

Why did Ahkor change from dragon to human form of Varien? Thought it was a little weird from both dragon and human perspectives, that's all!

N.B.
I realise that there is a book discussion thread elsewhere but this is pertaining to this particular thread so all book discussions for Elizabeth Kerner's books, fandom etc can remain here (strictly in this thread, of course ).

You live in Scotland, Lanen! I had no idea. Okay, Ill have to pray for a con to perform for you then... unless I get super bored this summer and decide to have some fun with my new video camera... YouTube is so handy with such things... if you know what I mean

You all got to hear her read her book! Okay, officially jealous over here

Hans, the new site looks fantastic! I especially like that you gathered all the book covers together. Ive never seen the Russian ones before. They look great! Well done!

Jube...I'd love to tell you...but you really need to read the next two and find out.

Litwolf...well all of us MoMer's, that were in Copenhagen at the time...got to hear ELizabeth read part of her book to us. We all went and met in Copenhagen, so that we could all go to Eurocon together and see Anne again. We were all amazingly lucky to be able to spend such wonderful time, with two such incredible authors. You should go and have a look at the photos from that trip...somewhere in the archives here on MoM. There are loads of photos of Elizabeth and her husband Steven there...as well as Anne, and the rest of us..their friends and fans.

*sticks tongue out then chuckles* hhmmm, the ol' tart is getting a bit crochity . Hell's bells, I'll take the "tall, dark and handsome" then.

Excuse you, wench. Tart yourself !

And P'ter, Jube says she doesn't get much onto NKT. For some reason, she prefers here more then NKT. Don't know why? They both amount to the same thing - Anne McCaffrey. Why did I pick a woman who's so picky about it?

Is a small scifi con the same as a large on the same subject? No! They have different attendees, a different culture, and different side conversations and topics. Some people will like both, but some will have a distinct preference for one over the other.
